The CPU, or central processing unit, is the brain of a computer. It performs arithmetic and logical operations on data and instructions. The CPU does not store its computations in itself, but rather in other components of the computer system.

The CPU has a small amount of memory called registers, which store temporary results of computations or data that is frequently accessed. The CPU also communicates with the main memory, or RAM, which stores the programs and data that are currently in use.

The CPU can also access secondary storage devices, such as hard disks or flash drives, which store data that is not needed immediately or frequently. The CPU uses a system of buses, which are wires or circuits that connect different parts of the computer, to transfer data between these components.
